Inkbound Review - The Final Verdict

In this age of rogue-like deck builders, turn-based RPGs and dungeon crawlers, it's refreshing to see a developer put a new spin on these elements. Inkbound is from Shiny Shoe and sees players battle against the Blight using different classes known as Aspects.

The combat is turn-based but allows for moving freely on the battlefield, adjusting for the trajectory of enemy attacks. Vestiges provide passive effects, but you can also break them down to aid in set bonuses. If that weren't enough, there's also online multiplayer, which works seamlessly and lends to rethinking your approach to battles.

Inkbound isn't perfect and has minor issues, whether it's the same flow through environments or certain bosses at higher difficulties. However, it's a compelling rogue-like RPG with enough variety and depth to keep you invested.
